The purpose of this Privacy Policy is:

This Privacy Policy governs this website at www.mewstoneprofessionalservices.co.uk (referred to in this Privacy Policy as the "Website") together with information passed to MPSL directly by its customers, associates, and suppliers. Other websites to which the MPSL Website may be linked, are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

Data protection
MPSL complies with the Data Protection Act 1998 (the "Act"). For the purposes of the Act, MPSL is the data controller and sole owner of the personal data collected on the MPSL Website.

MPSL does not sell, share or transfer this information except as set out in this Privacy Policy.

We use a range of procedures to keep personal data as safe and secure as possible and to protect against loss, unauthorised disclosure or access. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted by you to the Website; and any transmission is at your own risk. MPSL is not responsible for any interference with your data before it reaches our website. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

The Act gives you the right to access details that we hold about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the Act. A small fee is payable in respect of any access request.

Information we may collect from you
It is not necessary for you to register with us in order to access the Website. However we may collect some information from interactive features such as online surveys, contact and registration forms. The basic personal information about you which we may collect and process is:

Depending on what you are registering for, additional information may be collected from you.

We may also collect and process information provided by you at the time of posting material to the Website, as well as details of your visit to the Website (including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data), and the resources that you use. Further, if you contact us, we may also keep a record of that correspondence.

Third Parties
We do not currently forward the information collected about you to any third parties except where required by law to do so. We reserve the right to change this position at any time.

If MPSL chooses to employ the services of a third party to manage data, we will inform you, but the change will only apply in relation to information which we collect from you after we have informed you of the change. We will not disclose any information we have already collected about you without your consent, other than where required to do so by law.

At all times, MPSL will control and be responsible for the use of your personal information.
